0:06 - 0:09Un día a finales de 1914
-
0:09 - 0:12se intentó una importante Expedición Antártica
-
0:12 - 0:15que comenzó a ir mal
-
0:17 - 0:22En este día comenzó una pesadilla de dos años de difícil catástrofe
-
0:22 - 0:25y en última instancia herorismo del más alto orden
-
0:34 - 0:40Ernest Shackleton un brillante y carismático líder tomó a 27 hombres en un
-
0:40 - 0:43viaje que desafiaría sus espíritus y sus vidas
-
0:47 - 0:51Esta es la saga de una de las más notables historias de supervivencia de el siglo:
-
0:51 - 0:55El Viaje en el Endurance
-
1:02 - 1:08en este temprano día de Diciembre de 1914, el barco Endurance navega fácilmente a través de
-
1:08 - 1:15partidas de hielo del norte de Antartica. El líder de la Expedición Sir Ernest Shackleton
-
1:15 - 1:18es un ambicioso Inglés Irlandés de 40 años
-
1:18 - 1:23el es conocido por su manera de trazos significativos y por su habilidad de salir de
-
1:23 - 1:25situaciones duras.
-
1:26 - 1:31La Expedición Británica planea navegar a través del Mar de Wedell a la Antartica
-
1:31 - 1:35su meta es ser al primero en alcanzar y cruzar sobre tierras del contienente
-
1:37 - 1:42Ernest Shackleton era ya un afamado Explorador, el fue rival de Sir Robert Scott's
-
1:42 - 1:45en la carrera por alcanzar el Polo Sur
-
1:45 - 1:51La relación de mi padre con Scott es bastante dificil de describirla, verás
-
1:51 - 1:55en un sentido mi padre fué un aventurero que entró en
-
1:55 - 2:01los pensamientos de la gente de Ben Scott y decidió correr su propia Expedición
-
2:01 - 2:07En 1907 Shackleton permitió a su propio equipo sobre de intentar alcanzar el Polo
-
2:07 - 2:13con él fué Frank Wild quién se uniría más tarde con Shackleton en el Endurance
-
2:13 - 2:18En 1912 Scott golpeó a Shackleton a el Polo, los
enrollados papeleos, habían hecho alcanzarlo primero -
2:18 - 2:23competitivo y jironeado Shackleton volteó
sus avistamientos envés a el Viaje sobre -
2:23 - 2:25la inmensamente desconocida Antártica,
-
2:26 - 2:30la impresión que he tenido desde todo lo que he leído acerca de Shackleton y sus expediciones
-
2:31 - 2:34es que las cosas fueron arrojadas juntas en el útlimo minuto
-
2:34 - 2:39usualmente corto de dinero y el asunto fué sólo manejado por su impresionante energía y
-
2:39 - 2:44entusiasmo y ambición y cosas que hicieron ir mal comparado
-
2:44 - 2:46a las expediciones polares Noruegas
-
2:46 - 2:50Las de Shackleton fueron posiblemente caóticas pero él mismo tuvo ojos de aquellas situaciones,
-
2:54 - 2:57la vida en el Endurance es una mezcla de disciplina y rutina
-
2:57 - 2:59y buenos tiempos
-
3:00 - 3:06mas de 50 perros, dos equipos de activos trineos para la travesía
-
3:13 - 3:18Frank Wild está abordo, su capitán Shackleton tiene una imbatible Fé en
-
3:18 - 3:20su segundo al mando
-
3:20 - 3:26él fue muy dependiente de Frank mientras que yo diría que fué un gran hombre
-
3:26 - 3:27a su manera
-
3:27 - 3:32Frank Wild y el yo no creo que piensen que tenían que finalizar oraciones una vez que las plantas entre
-
3:32 - 3:36ellos habían sugerido que era necesario
-
3:40 - 3:42ese fatídico Verano
-
3:42 - 3:45Hay frías temperaturas en la Antartica
-
3:49 - 3:52Las extensas anotaciones del barco, el empeoramiento del clima y el escaso progreso
-
3:52 - 3:57the Endurenace movido de pesados flujos y
-
3:57 - 3:59aves
-
3:59 - 4:03por el día 20 de Enero de 1915, el Endurance está atrapado
-
4:07 - 4:10el diario del Carpintero de Barco, debería ser McNeish. Enero 24
-
4:11 - 4:16Aún rápido y sin señal de algo abierto, la presión es un asunto importante
-
4:16 - 4:18y si no salimos pronto
-
4:18 - 4:21No tendríamos mucha opción de alguna vez salir de aquí
-
4:24 - 4:29la situación parece desbastadora todavia los hombres tienen una pertinaz Fe en el que ellos
-
4:29 - 4:31llaman el Jefe
-
4:34 - 4:35Para el líder científico Scott .
-
4:35 - 4:38Veloz y eficiente viaje
-
4:38 - 4:43Amundson: Pero cuando tu estás una situación desesperada, cuando parece que no hay salida
-
4:43 - 4:45inclinate de rodillas y ora
-
4:45 - 4:46por Shackleton
-
4:48 - 4:51después de más de un mes en la partida
-
4:51 - 4:56Shackleton decide tratar de mover manualmente las 300 toneladas del Endurance
-
4:56 - 4:58en agua abierta
-
4:58 - 5:02por cerca de dos días la triplación virtualmente trabaja sin descanso
-
5:02 - 5:05cansados de batallar contra el hielo
-
5:19 - 5:22cuando ello están en el punto de dejar caer
-
5:22 - 5:24Shackleton tiene la crudeza de empujar el barco
-
5:24 - 5:29hacia atrás tan lejos como alcance ir para embestir su ruta a través del hielo que
-
5:30 - 5:33era de más de 18 pies de grosor
-
5:37 - 5:38mientras permanece solo en la cubierta
-
5:38 - 5:42el barco surca a 400 yardas de
-
5:42 - 5:43agua abierta
-
5:43 - 5:44pero no puede ir más lejos
-
5:51 - 5:56en Febrero 24 de 1915
-
5:56 - 5:59Shackleton se rinde tratando de liberar el barco
-
5:59 - 6:01y el Endurance llega a la estación de Invierno
-
6:02 - 6:05se dejará llevar por la corriente con los caprichos de la partidas de hielo
-
6:05 - 6:07los cuales lo llevarán a cualquier parte errante
-
6:09 - 6:12Pra la mayor parte de la tripulación aceptó todo con buena salud
-
6:13 - 6:17Ellos aún esperaban poder eventualmente completar su misión
-
6:17 - 6:22el hombre mantuvo arriba el espíritu con juegos de Fútbol sobre las duras partidas congeladas
-
6:22 - 6:25esperando a que el hielo se abra
-
6:30 - 6:32A bordo Shackleton adhiere a su profunda creencia
-
6:32 - 6:35en lo importante de una estricta rutina
-
6:35 - 6:38Hay algunos quejumbrosos acerca de las faenas
-
6:38 - 6:41pero la autoridad de los Jefes es raramente cuestionada
-
6:44 - 6:47la bodega del barco llega a ser conocida como el Ritz
-
6:47 - 6:49y la vida continúa en ralativo confort
-
6:54 - 6:59revisiones de costumbres son muy populares
Shackleton gana el premio por la peor -
6:59 - 7:02pero varios cantantes son serios competidores
-
7:06 - 7:12el verdadero enemigo es el tedio que es tratado con aún más drasticas medidas
-
7:12 - 7:17todos tuvimos nuestro corte de pelo y luego tuvimos una fotografía tomada en el Ritz
-
7:17 - 7:20Luciamos como un montón de convictos y
no eramos más bajos que la Vida hoy -
7:20 - 7:23pero aún esperando tener civilización algún día
-
7:30 - 7:33la última camada de cachorros es también una diversion
-
7:33 - 7:36inlcuso para bruscos y viejos marineros como Tom
Cream -
7:38 - 7:45Frank Wild es cariñoso con Sampson el mas grande de los animales indomables
-
7:45 - 7:49perros llegan a ser cada vez más como mascotas también
varios de los hombres -
7:53 - 7:56la complacencia es despedazada una tade de comienzos de Abril
-
7:56 - 7:59millones de toneladas de hielos
-
7:59 - 8:02están siendo empujados contra el Endurance
-
8:02 - 8:05Shackleton recuerda esa noche de mal augurio
-
8:07 - 8:08durante la noche tercera
-
8:08 - 8:10nosotros tuvimos hielo estancado hacia el este
-
8:09 - 8:15Y en la mañana vimos que el hielo recién formado fue calado de 8 a 10 pies de altos lugares
-
8:15 - 8:20este fue el primer momento gran de peligro para amenazarnos después
-
8:20 - 8:24Di ordenes de esas acumulaciones de nieve y basura alrededor de el Endurance
-
8:24 - 8:27debería ser apaleada lejos
-
8:29 - 8:34el enorme esfuerzo para aliviar la presión sobre el barco son imposibles
-
8:34 - 8:38incluso con sus tres pies para motivar el Endurance es en la piedad de los mas lejanos
-
8:38 - 8:42poderes que la nave podría alguna vez esperado vencer
-
8:45 - 8:47Julio 14 de 1915
-
8:47 - 8:49Todas las manos
-
8:49 - 8:52tuvimos un lado cerrado anoche hubo un ruido bajo el
-
8:52 - 8:55fondo despues de los mismos hielos y mirando hacia arriba
-
8:55 - 8:58El Jefe piensa que es una Ballena pero pienso diferente
-
8:58 - 9:02Shackleton ordena una especial observación
-
9:02 - 9:05es una estresante y exhaustiva noche y
-
9:05 - 9:08en la mañana la presión luce aún peor
-
9:12 - 9:15los asaltos por el hielo conitnuan por semanas
-
9:16 - 9:18el viento halló la jarcia
-
9:18 - 9:19y no pudo ayudar a pensar
-
9:19 - 9:20fue haciendo sólo un tipo de sonido que tu
-
9:20 - 9:24esperarías responder a un ser humano si ellos no temieran ser aniquilados
-
9:24 - 9:25Shackleton dijo
-
9:26 - 9:28mientras mejor maquilles tu mente es solamente una cuestión de tiempo
-
9:29 - 9:32lo que el hielo obtiene el hielo mantiene
-
9:36 - 9:42the unrelenting pressure damages the
rudder of the ship beyond repair -
9:42 - 9:48wild and Shackleton are stranded trapped
for more than seven months in the pack -
9:48 - 9:49ice
-
9:49 - 9:52they are now 1,200 miles from
civilization -
9:52 - 9:56the crew has no communications and no
hope of outside help -
9:57 - 10:07they have only ernest shackleton October
18th 1915 the endurance has been trapped -
10:07 - 10:08for nine months
-
10:08 - 10:13a wave of pressure causes the ship to
keel over 30 degrees in a matter of -
10:13 - 10:14seconds
-
10:14 - 10:17bent and twisted she begins to leak
dangerously -
10:19 - 10:24All Hands work ceaselessly throughout an
interminable night -
10:24 - 10:29pumping and repairing the damage even
blankets are used to try to contain the -
10:29 - 10:32leak
-
10:34 - 10:40at 5pm on october 27 Shackleton gives
the order to abandon ship -
10:45 - 10:48ok
-
10:55 - 11:00the attack of the ice reached a climax
at four o'clock after long months of -
11:00 - 11:05ceaseless anxiety after times when hope
feet high and times when the outlook was -
11:05 - 11:12black indeed the end of the endurance
has come to his men -
11:12 - 11:20Shackleton says simply shipping stores
are gone so now we'll go home but in his -
11:20 - 11:25own diary he writes i pray god I can
manage to get the whole party to -
11:25 - 11:26civilization
-
11:26 - 11:31the boss is facing the most crucial test
of his life -
11:31 - 11:37Shackleton tells his crew that they will
head for the nearest supplied a pole -
11:37 - 11:44left behind years earlier on polit
island three hundred and forty-six miles -
11:44 - 11:47away
-
11:53 - 11:57within a few days the endurance loses
her final struggle -
12:33 - 12:39the men attempt to march with the
terrain is impassable everywhere they -
12:39 - 12:42turn the ice blocks their way
-
12:45 - 12:52i woulda thought of anybody had to take
a bet on his data said I said they were -
12:52 - 12:56probably 10 20 to 1 against bringing
them back alive I mean I fraud -
12:56 - 13:01there they were sitting in the middle of
the the weddell sea in the middle of the -
13:01 - 13:04pack ice miles from land
-
13:04 - 13:11it's very difficult to contemplate what
the likelihood of their getting back -
13:11 - 13:19alive were I would almost have said they
were negligible for the next six months -
13:19 - 13:25the crew camps on unpredictable and
hazardous ice floes at the beginning -
13:25 - 13:28morale stays high
-
13:33 - 13:38Shackleton's hopes are pinned on three
small bolts in which he plans to set -
13:38 - 13:43sail when the pack opens but if the
weddell sea had crushed the endurance -
13:43 - 13:49what could it do to these fragile craft
in the meantime they drift helplessly -
13:49 - 13:50with the pack
-
13:50 - 13:56they were moving they want to moving ice
flow of course and I suppose -
13:57 - 14:02Shackleton would have been very very
concerned with keeping it from the men -
14:02 - 14:07how desperate the situation was and time
the supplies become depleted the men -
14:07 - 14:10hunt whatever game they can find what
food becomes an obsession -
14:11 - 14:18februari 1916 the food is pretty well
all meet seal stakes -
14:18 - 14:21dude sale penguin states to penguin
penguin liver -
14:21 - 14:26the latter being very good indeed the
cocoa has been finished for some time -
14:26 - 14:29and the tea is very nearly done
-
14:29 - 14:33even the mild temperature shifts dr.
James Macklin is showing the strain at -
14:33 - 14:36such times he wrote his diary and cord
-
14:36 - 14:40I think the boss was a bit improvident
not getting all the food in whilst the -
14:40 - 14:43going was good it was worth the risk
-
14:45 - 14:53as the months pass game become scarce
lunches one biscuit and three lumps of -
14:53 - 14:56sugar issued each day
-
14:58 - 15:03on March thirteenth Shackleton orders
the men to shoot the surviving dogs now -
15:03 - 15:06they can eat
-
15:06 - 15:10they come tantalizingly close to polit
island but in the end they drift -
15:10 - 15:14helplessly past it and it's vital supply
depot -
15:14 - 15:19they have been marooned for 14 months
yet Shackleton somehow manages to keep -
15:19 - 15:23his men from sinking into what could
become fatal despair -
15:24 - 15:28people tell me that 50 times a day
-
15:28 - 15:34people said what do we do now boss ok
boss he was known as the boss and I -
15:34 - 15:40think they literally had a pattern of
activity that he controlled and when -
15:40 - 15:44they got the end of the task they turned
him what we do novels -
15:45 - 15:49the boss has to plan a new course of
action after their numerous with polit -
15:49 - 15:50island
-
15:50 - 15:55he will aim for elephant island instead
100 miles to the north the next decision -
15:55 - 16:01on the morning of people night is made
for him at 11am our flow suddenly split -
16:01 - 16:05right across under the boats we rushed
out gear onto the larger of the two -
16:05 - 16:06pieces
-
16:06 - 16:09our home was being shuttered and her own
feet -
16:09 - 16:15they take to the boats and Anna roaring
sea begin a dash for elephant island -
16:16 - 16:21for the next seven days they find a
heroic battle -
16:21 - 16:26the storms are enormous they go days
without sleep first becomes overwhelming -
16:26 - 16:28and their mouths and tongues are so
swollen -
16:28 - 16:31they cannot swallow food
-
16:31 - 16:36leading them through 17 hours of
darkness each day is Frank worsley -
16:36 - 16:39Shackleton's brilliant navigator
-
16:39 - 16:44the temperature was 20 degrees below
freezing . Green Streets right foot got -
16:44 - 16:45badly frostbitten
-
16:45 - 16:48but leaves restored it by holding it in
his sweater against his stomach -
16:48 - 16:53my eyes began to family I could not see
or judge distance properly and found -
16:53 - 16:59myself falling asleep at the tiller yet
words Lee's uncanny navigation rings the -
16:59 - 17:02three battered craft to the Bleak shores
of Elephant Island -
17:03 - 17:11the men have not touched solid ground in
more than 16 months for the first time -
17:11 - 17:12in three days
-
17:12 - 17:15they have a meal and a hot drink
-
17:19 - 17:23uninhabited Elephant Island is a
desolate and dangerous place -
17:23 - 17:27they have one for Lauren home the
whaling station on South Georgia island -
17:27 - 17:30800 miles to the northeast
-
17:33 - 17:36Shackleton decides to attempt the almost
suicidal journey -
17:37 - 17:44the night before he leaves he writes a
note to Frank wild April the 23rd 1916 -
17:44 - 17:50Elephant Island dear so in the event of
my not surviving the boat journey to -
17:50 - 17:53South Georgia you will do your best for
the rescue of the party -
17:53 - 17:57you are in full command from the time
the boat leaves this island -
17:58 - 18:02you can convey my love to my people and
say I tried my best -
18:02 - 18:05yours sincerely eh Shackleton
-
18:08 - 18:16the next morning the 22 men who will be
left behind gather on shore the -
18:16 - 18:19optimists expect the boss back in a few
weeks -
18:22 - 18:27Shackleton and five other men face the
world's most vicious see and a 23-foot -
18:27 - 18:30open bolt
-
18:30 - 18:36Elephant Island people 24th 1916 we
watch them until they were out of sight -
18:36 - 18:40which was not known for such a tiny boat
soon lost the sight of the great healing -
18:40 - 18:44ocean and she dipped into the trap of
each way she disappeared completely -
18:44 - 18:47saleable
-
18:49 - 18:55three days out their craft is hit by a
powerful game enormous waves 50 or more -
18:55 - 18:59feet high batter them relentlessly as
they struggle in a last desperate effort -
18:59 - 19:02to reach help
-
19:07 - 19:13and these men were in this tiny 23 for
boat for 16 days altogether being tossed -
19:13 - 19:20around with these wet reindeer clothes
reindeer sleeping bags chafing them and -
19:20 - 19:24great wet to rock some ballast bumping
against them -
19:25 - 19:30huge waves I mean they were they were in
storm conditions bail conditions -
19:30 - 19:33virtually the entire time of the
crossing -
19:36 - 19:42and I think worsley only had one chance
to take a sighting from the Sun to work -
19:42 - 19:46out that position and the rest was done
entirely on dead reckoning -
19:47 - 19:53on may eight against all odds the men's
side the south georgia coast they spend -
19:53 - 19:57nearly two days trying to make a landing
on the islands treacherous shores -
20:02 - 20:08and is the the most wild coast with huge
glasses flowing down into the sea and I -
20:08 - 20:12think it was just as they finally
managed to get through some rocks into -
20:12 - 20:18this tiny little bay and drag the boat
ashore stumbling and slurring on on the -
20:18 - 20:24wet rocks see we that the the main pin
holding the rudder fell out -
20:24 - 20:27just at that moment is that as they
landed -
20:27 - 20:33incredible fortunately that lasts until
it fate compels them to land on the side -
20:33 - 20:34of the island
-
20:34 - 20:38opposite the whaling station which lies
over an interior of glaciers and -
20:38 - 20:41mountains that no human being has ever
crossed -
20:46 - 20:51terribly weekend Shackleton is called on
to lead yet another heroic effort -
20:52 - 20:57he has a bit of rope a carpenter's ands
and some screws which the men twist into -
20:57 - 20:59the bottom of their shoes
-
20:59 - 21:02leaving behind the three men were too
will to make the trip -
21:02 - 21:05Shackleton sets off with Frank where's
Lee and Tom cream -
21:05 - 21:12chuckles and was a polar expert he was a
seaman but he wasn't really a -
21:12 - 21:13mountaineer
-
21:13 - 21:17and yet when they arrived on the wrong
side of South Georgia and had to cross -
21:17 - 21:17it
-
21:17 - 21:22they were having to do a very serious
bit of mountaineering and I think that's -
21:22 - 21:27where this incredible intuition came in
they knew roughly where they were going -
21:27 - 21:30but but they had no Maps
-
21:32 - 21:36at one point Shackleton finds himself at
the top of an impossibly steep slope -
21:38 - 21:41once again he decides to take an
enormous gamble -
21:43 - 21:48but by this time night was falling and
the mr. was covering the bottom of the -
21:48 - 21:49slope
-
21:49 - 21:53they had no idea what was at the bottom
-
21:53 - 21:58they tried a few steps down but it was
evident that if they continued they -
21:58 - 22:03would die of exposure so they coil their
rope down the three of them sat on it -
22:03 - 22:08and they put their arms around each
other's waists and they pushed off into -
22:08 - 22:09space
-
22:09 - 22:15they careen crazily down a thousand foot
mountain side at the bottom they are -
22:15 - 22:20bruised and tour but to have survived at
all is another in a long line of -
22:20 - 22:23miracles
-
22:26 - 22:31at about four o'clock in the afternoon
of made twentieth nineteen sixteen three -
22:31 - 22:36filthy string had men dressed in tatters
walk into a whaling station on South -
22:36 - 22:39Georgia island
-
22:39 - 22:43Shackleton has to introduce himself to a
man he is known for years -
22:44 - 22:48don't you know me he asks the whaler
hesitates -
22:48 - 22:51I know your voice and the response comes
-
22:51 - 22:54my name is Shackleton
-
22:54 - 22:58some say the old sailor turned away
-

To license this clip go to http://www.natgeomotion.com/bell/clip/447N01W_112.do Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew took bitter defeat and turned it into heroic survival.Early this century, members of the imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition watched as their ship, the Endurance was crushed by the frozen sea.They were left with no radio and no hope of rescue.For more than a year, they drifted on packed ice, surviving on seal, penguin, and eventually dog meat, while battling freezing temperatures and mind-numbing boredom.When Shackleton, along with all 28 members of the expedition, emerged at Stromness whaling station in May, 1916, almost two years after their departure, the world was shocked.
